[January 19, 2005, 23:16:39]
Azerbaijani football club `Neftchi’ on January 19 clashed with
Armenian club `Pyunik’ in a Commonwealth Cup quarterfinal match in
Moscow. Before this match, `Neftchi’ secured 4:1 and 1:0 wins over
the Turkmen club `Nebitchi’ and Moldavian club `Sheriff’
respectively.
Azerbaijani club has turned out to be a stronger rival today and
clinched a convincing victory over the Armenian squad. Both goals
were netted by Vidadi Rzayev and Georgiy Adamiya in the second half.
Whole Azerbaijani Diaspora in Moscow supported Azerbaijani team. Many
Armenian supporters were also present in the match. However,
following the second goal of Azerbaijani footballers the Armenian
fans began leaving the stadium. Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary of Azerbaijan in Moscow Ramiz Rizayev viewed the
match.
Thus, `Neftchi’ cruised into the semifinal. The rival of our team
will be known very soon. Law-enforcement bodies maintained order and
the match was held without any incidents.
